(C) neon (atomic number 10)
Explanation:
The atom that is chemically inert is Neon with an atomic number of 10.
An atom is chemically inert if it does not willingly take part in chemical reaction.
Atoms takes part in chemical reactions in order to attain a stable configuration as seen in the noble gases.
In the noble gases every enable level is completely filled with the appropriate number of electrons.
- The noble gases are He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe
- These elements do not react with others.
- From the given option, Neon is a noble gas and therefore inert.

increases my factor of 10
3Si + 2N2 --> Si3N4 (as given)
n(Si) = m/MM = 38.25/28.085 = 1.3619 mol
n(N2) = 14.33/2*14.007 = 0.5115 mol
Therefore, N2 is limiting and Si is in excess
The molar ratio of 2N2:Si3N4 is 2:1
So, 0.0575 mol of silicon nitride is formed (dividing 0.5115 by 2)
m of silicon nitride= n*mm = 0.0575*140.283 = 8.06627... g
= 8.066g (4 significant figures)
(hopefully it is right, but double check in case i did something wrong) :)

1st energy level can hold 2 electrons
2nd energy level can hold 8 electrons
3rd energy level can hold 8 or 18 electrons
